In all honesty, my first thought was Apollo 1, which was just a fire inside the cockpit but killed all three astronauts. Considering the Soviet counterpart actually did this on the launchpad it's amazing something like this didn't happen to one of the real Apollo rockets. (Apollo 13 aside, which was while they were in space AND they all survived). On a less serious note, he's got some nice parts for a pretty cool Lunar/Mars crash landing MOC. Sorry for the pun... not really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeChiliPeP Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 short stop @Smyths Toys today. Brand new rockets arrived. 39S9! I assume that’s the latest batch. Can’t believe that the rocket will retire this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S@H US is the only true indicator of retirement. If it is not retired in the US then there is always a chance for it to come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad W Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Well, in the US, it's Sold out at LEGO Shop at Home. Out of Stock at Wal-Mart. Last list price was $170. It's averaging the same price at Amazon. $60-ish above retail. 6 sold Listings today on eBay averaging about $145. Barnes and Noble apparently still has some at retail price $119.95. https://bit.ly/35pSnJS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started getting collecting one each for each of the Ideas sets a year or two ago, so I'll probably keep it only for that reason. Who knows, couple years down the road... it depends on what they're pulling in and my life situation, I might change my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landphieran Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 This is a 3 year hold at a bare minimum. Or a quick dump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo that will be the max it gets here in the uk. It's such a good set but the amount they have made has really killed this for investment purposes. It will be a race to the bottom once it finally sells out at lego. The amount of people that will be listing these after retirement will be crazy, me included. You can't really blame lego for milking this one though, such an amazing set. Just realized I'm starting to sound like Tabby with the negativity, scrap what I said this will be at 3 x retail next christmas.

Legojona Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 In mainland Europe this set was really hard to get in volume, so I expect less dumping. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before doing really well, (3 years from now) You know what, maybe it will. There are people that buy PR right now for 200€ as an investment, nothing is shocking me anymore. Probably some newbs will buy them at 250€ hoping it makes it to 300€ so they make their 12,5€ after eBay & PP fees. 2 hours ago, Legojona said: In mainland Europe this set was really hard to get in volume, so I expect less dumping.
